Brian Michael Bendis, for you non-comic geeks, is one of Marvel Comics somewhat recently celebrated authors. Last night I read one of his earlier efforts, Alias in a trade paperback that I borrowed from the library.

Cliche: I liked Bendis's earlier stuff better.

He knows how to write gritty, street-level characters. Flawed characters are his forte. I really liked this first collected works and will see if Ye Olde Library has the other trades.

A+

Highlights: Luke Cage is a "cape chaser", deluded musician who thinks he's Rick Jones, straight woman posing as a gay man to trap a client's cheating husband, SHIELD as Big Brother.
